Endorsements

Hon. Ike Leggett

Montgomery County Executive

"I am proud to endorse Aruna Miller to be the next Congresswoman from Maryland. In the years that I have known her, she has had an exemplary commitment to the people of Montgomery County and has dedicated herself to serving every individual she represents. Her record of votes and constituent services demonstrate that she is the right person for the job."

Del. Maggie McIntosh

Maryland State Delegate (Appropriations Committee Chair)

"I’ve gotten to know Aruna pretty well over the past few years and I know that there is nothing she can’t do if she puts her mind to it. She is an enthusiastic problem solver, a dedicated public servant, and an empathetic legislator. We hate to see her go, but she will be an excellent Congresswoman for the 6th District and I am proud to endorse her."

Del. Kathleen Dumais

Maryland State Delegate (Judiciary Committee Vice-Chair)

"We have a once in a generation opportunity to send an incredibly effective legislator who has a passion for advancing progress on the values we care most about to Congress. Aruna Miller, my friend and District 15 colleague, has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to listening to her constituents and helping people solve their problems. The citizens of the 6th District would be lucky to have a Congresswoman of Aruna’s talent, commitment, and innovation representing them in Washington."

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand

United States Senator (D-N.Y.)

"I am proud to support a proven leader like Delegate Aruna Miller in her race for Congress. While in Annapolis, she fought to protect women and children from their abusers, to provide paid sick leave for all Maryland workers and to ensure the next generation is ready to take on the jobs of the future. I can’t wait to see what she’ll do in Congress"

Rep. Pramila Jayapal

Member of Congress (D-WA)

"We need a progressive champion like Aruna in Congress. She worked with her colleagues to establish funding for rape crisis centers, to expand background checks for gun purchases, and to protect victims of domestic violence, We need more of that in Washington."

"Aruna Miller has been a leading voice for public education in the Maryland General Assembly and educators could not be more excited to have her leadership in Congress. She will fight to make sure America is truly the land of opportunity for all children and deeply understands the importance of public education for their future." - Maryland State Educators Association

"As a state legislator and engineer, Aruna Miller has consistently advocated for public policy solutions based on her constituents’ needs and real science. An early opponent of fracking and of Transcanada's proposed Potomac Pipeline, Aruna has shown she will stand up to powerful interests to protect the environment. A mother, immigrant and engineer, Aruna will bring a different perspective to Congress -- a welcome change from the dominant voices of this administration." - Sierra Club

"From coming to this country as a seven-year-old and learning English so she could attend public schools to working in a fast food restaurant to help make ends meet during a family health crisis to becoming a successful engineer and running for state representative, Aruna has shown that there is no challenge she cannot rise to meet. She will be a strong voice for women and families in Maryland's 6th District, pushing back against Donald Trump and Paul Ryan as they attempt to end health care coverage for millions, defund Planned Parenthood, and roll back critical environmental protections. EMILY's List is excited about her candidacy and proud to endorse Aruna Miller." - EMILY's List
